How could you check to see if the point (5, 6) is the solution to the Linear System of equations?

Substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.

Substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true.

Substitute 6 in for x and 5 in for y in one of the equations to see if the equation is true.

Substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.

1 answer

To check if the point (5, 6) is a solution to a linear system of equations, you need to substitute the coordinates \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 6 \) into both equations of the system. Therefore, the correct approach is:

Substitute 5 in for x and 6 in for y in both of the equations to see if both equations are true.

If the point satisfies both equations (i.e., both equations hold true after substitution), then (5, 6) is a solution to the linear system.
